Hi! My family and I were thinking of seeing Waitress through TKTS. We have bought from them many times, and have always gotten great seats. If anybody has ever bought TKTS tickets for Waitress before, what's the price and where were your seats? I know it will vary because they give you the best seats available, but it would be great if you could share your experience with me. Thanks in advance!

My recommendation for waitress--if you can go to the box office they sell the "partial view" box seats. Box C (house right) is excellent, especially the front row (I would avoid A and B because of the lighting, and avoid the house left boxes because you miss the diner counter rather than the onstage band). They are ~$80 and you are very close.
As for TKTS, you would need to get a response from someone who saw it recently. When I saw it with Sarah, they only had extreme rear orchestra seats. I think they likely will have more with Betsy. Also, as always, if you are doing a Matinee it pays to go to South Street TKTS since you can but the tickets the day before.

They don't sell box A on either side because of equipment there. I'm not a fan of the boxes but yes only right boxes and C is better. Not sure when you are looking for tickets but this week and next are two for one tickets with a special code that you should be able to find easily.
But basically it's a small theater and most seats are fine. I would avoid any seats way to the side on either side of the very front of the orchestra. Otherwise you should be ok.
